Imagine if you could live 90% longer than the average human. What would you do with all that extra life? How many more generations of your blood line could you enjoy their company with. On the Train Hard Live Strong Podcast we normally bring on bodybuilders, competitors, CorssFit Athletes, Business owners, doctors, ect. Today we are bringing on someone that will change the game in how you understand health.

The amazing Scientist, Chris Burres, comes to the show to share some incredible value about your health, lifespan, mental acuity, and so much more. I learned more from this 60 minute interview than I did in all my years of high school science combined. Chris breaks down MyVitalc down to the very small molecule that is proven to expand life. This product is not a cure for all and doesn't mean if you take it that automatically you'll live longer. You must check off many other things that are included with living a healthy lifestyle. I've never expanded my mind to the extent of how Mr. Chris Burres did.

It's easy to play the blame game when things aren't going our way. For example, It's easy to say "well I will never start to eat healthy, because every time I try too, my family orders pizza for dinner", or "I'm never going to build muscle, my metabolism is to fast. All I do is eat and poop and never gain weight." When it comes down to how we are create, and I mean we as in us as individual human beings, we were given a certain foundation of things that makes us who we are (aka genetics). 

Genetics are not the reason why your metabolism is "slow" or "fast". Your genetics are not the reason why you're the slowest on your team or heaviest in your class. Genetics are not the reason why you're steadily gaining 10lbs every year so by the time 10 years has passed by, which happens very fast, and now you've put on 100lbs. Genetics are what you are, not who you can be. You're in control of the outcomes of your progress. Genetics plays a role in your structure, your muscle origin and insertion, your base metabolic rate, and how fast or slow you will get your results.

Your health and fitness journey is unique to you. It's what will create the woman/man you want to be, inside & out. The beautiful thing about working on your health, body, mind, and overall life is that no one has control over it but you! No one can say "you can't do it" because when people say that you can just work your ass of for it and sooner or later while those other people were sitting around you were working and now they're asking you how you did it.

Change is scary, change is unknown territory, change is leaving your comfort zone. Now fear is the evil inside change. Fear is something that will push you to never start, to quit, to doubt yourself, to think you are not worth anything. Fear of change is normal but must be defined by your drive to want to succeed.

How many times have you eaten before a workout and got sick? How many times have you eaten food after your workout and then felt guilty after eating it, as if you threw away your whole workout? Or are you just all around confused on what to do with your pre & post workout meals? In this episode I go through 3 tips to get you to better understand what foods and for what reasons you need to eat before and after your workouts.

After explaining the three tips, you need to also understand that these feelings might have (guilt) with your pre & post workout meals may come from a state of mindset where your relationship with food isn't all to great. Food is made to be eaten. Food is made to fuel our body and create progress. Food is medicine and has helped people turn their entire health & life around. Food is a touchy subject for most and get's very frustrating to understand. Let's break it down nice and simple in this episode!

For the passed 14 years of training I've come to understand that everyone's journey will have these 5 reasons, and I mean it's a must! For the passed 5 years of me coaching other people as well as helping soldiers in US Army achieve high physical levels, these 5 reasons just find even a more permanent position in everyone's transformation journey. 

Transforming your body & health is not just a 12 week program, it's rest rest of your life. Imagine a life long project that demands your attention every second of the day, and the amount of time left in your life depends on how great of a job you put on your part. I highly recommend after listening to this episode that you take some time to reflect on your journey/goals and see where you need improvement. 

" Constant improvement creates never ending progress"

A diet is another word for "Nutritional restriction to accomplish a specific health or physique goal". Key word - restriction. A huge reason why the USA is the most obese country is because we don't understand food. We don't understand health. We don't understand control & awareness. Your body needs very little to survive, but with this very little, it's also very important to consume the things your body claims as "essential". Essential things for our body's are: Protein, Carbs, fats, vitamins & minerals, sleep, movement, and hydration. Out of all these essentials, for some reason we get so caught up on the C word......CARBS!

Carbs come in many different shapes & forms. One thing I can promise you is this: 1g of carbohydrates is 4 calories and that's all your body will view a carb. Yes they're are simple & complex carbs, but let's not even get into that. When it comes down to giving your body what it needs to achieve weight loss, muscle growth, ect, your body will only see the food you eat as" protein, carbs, and fats. Pizza is carbs, protein, and fat. Burgers with fries are carbs, protein, and fat. Our body is like a computer. A computer creates programs with codes, and our bodies create progress with macros. Stop restrictions and start living!

Day one in the gym will not be the same as day one thousand. Why want it be the same? Well because you're not the same. You have changed in many ways and training, nutrition, performance, strength, ect, has all changed within your body. Your reason "why" on day one thousand will be different than your day one. How do we evolve with it? How do we better understand ourselves and why we want to pursue our goals in health & fitness? In this episode I will break it down for you so simple, and by doing this, you will evolve with your "why" to create an unbreakable mindset.

Life gets messy sometimes and we will fail. When we fail we find more things about ourselves that we would of never known unless we failed in the first place. As this continues to happen, and life takes it role, you will evolve along with your why. But the most important thing is to continue to ask yourself the questions I mentioned in this episode. The more you understand about yourself, the better endless progress you will achieve.

Life is filled with mysteries and uncontrollable situations that we can only be ready for. How do we get ready for these situations? We get ready by taking time out of our days to self care, self improve, and prioritize our body, health, and mind. Life can throw a curveball at anytime of your day, and when this happens we need to find how to gain control even when everything is out of our control. We do this by gaining control over the one thing you will always have control over, your reactions! What’s the purpose of training? It’s not to look good for the beach. It’s to find our inner worth, what makes us happy, and create a health condition so strong it can be ready for anything life has to bring.

I made this episode short and right to the point because that’s what it is. Your health is right to the point. Life is always right to the point. So when it comes to your body, mind, and the way you view yourself, it needs to be right to the point. The faster we can accomplish an improvement the closer we get to sustainable unbreakable progress.

Finding the negative things in life are pretty easy. Finding everything that's wrong with your life can be easily explained, but if I asked you what was good about your day today, I wouldn't get as big as a rant as all the negativity. This is amplified when it comes down to your fitness & health journey. There are tons of bad days in a health & fitness journey because in most cases people are trying to break bad habits, bad behavior reactions, and so lifestyle changes.

So when bad days come your way, which they will, how do you deal with it? Better yet, how do you gain progress even when no progress is seen or measured? This is the positive beauty of progress. The small progress is superficial, when the drastic progress is deep and internal! 

"there is enough bad in the world. When it comes down to you, shed some light on it!"
